What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this gale warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Milwaukee, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Mar 14, 3:17 AM CDT, 5 hours 59 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- Elevated fire weather conditions today due to a combination of dry fuels, gusty winds, low humidity, and near record highs.
- A line of strong to severe thunderstorms will move into the region from the southwest this evening, progressing eastward through the late night hours. Severe weather threats include very gusty winds and the potential for a brief tornado or two.
- Very strong winds are expected during the day on Saturday; 40-50 MPH gusts are likely, with a few gusts approaching 60 MPH.

.SHORT TERM...
Issued 317 AM CDT Fri Mar 14 2025
Today through Saturday Night:
A very active next 24-36 hours is ahead for much of southern
Wisconsin. Starting out early this morning, a few showers and
thunderstorms have developed north of the Quad Cities (as of 3
AM), on the nose of strong warm advection. This activity will
lift north/northeastward early this morning, and may bring a
brief shower and rumble of thunder to a few locations before
progressing northward.
Strong south-southeast winds will occur through the daytime
hours today, with 30-40 MPH gusts likely, as a strong area of
low pressure lifts from northwestern Kansas into Minnesota.
Deep mixing and a fair amount of sun will help boost
temperatures into the mid to even upper 70s inland from Lake
Michigan. The deep mixing will also offset much of the moisture
advection from the south, with dewpoints expected to only reach
the upper 40s to around 50. This will result in relative
humidity this afternoon falling to between 30 and 40 percent
area-wide, resulting in elevated fire weather conditions.
Later tonight, a strongly forced line of convection will move
into southwestern Wisconsin, likely in the 8-9 PM time range.
This line will surge east-northeastward before moving east of
the area around 1 AM.
Shear and overall system dynamics are very strong, and this line
will bring a wind threat simply by mixing down some of the very
strong momentum just off the surface. There is also a QLCS
tornado threat, though this a bit more nebulous and will be
dependent on how much low level instability is able to develop.
The deep mixing and lower dewpoints during the day will
generally limit the low level instability, but if some localized
pockets of low level CAPE can develop, east to northeastward
surging line segments will pose a mesovort risk.
By Saturday morning the occluded surface low will be located
over northern Wisconsin. Steep low level lapse rates will result
in strong winds mixing down to the surface starting Saturday
morning, and continuing into the afternoon hours. Widespread
40-50 MPH gusts are expected, with localized gusts up to 60 MPH.
A Wind Advisory is very likely, with the potential for a High
Wind Warning for parts of the forecast area if forecast winds
increase further.
Showers are also expected at times on Saturday, especially over
the northwestern half of the forecast area. Temperatures will
fall during the afternoon as colder air surges into the region,
and precipitation may end as a mix of rain and snow late
Saturday night and early Sunday.

.LONG TERM...
Issued 317 AM CDT Fri Mar 14 2025
Sunday through Thursday:
Sunday will be cooler and breezy, with highs in the low 40s.
Temperatures will rebound Monday and Tuesday, with highs back
into the 50s Monday and 60s on Tuesday.
By Tuesday afternoon another storm system looks to be taking
shape in the High Plains, with low pressure lifting into the
Midwest Wednesday and Thursday. There remains disagreement on
the track of the low, and whether southern Wisconsin will be on
the cold or warm side of this system. Details will become more
clear over time, but precipitation chances will increase toward
mid week next week.

.AVIATION...
Issued 317 AM CDT Fri Mar 14 2025
Starting out this morning, a few showers and thunderstorms will
move through the area through daybreak. They will remain widely
scattered, with MVFR conditions in and around any convection.
Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected through the day today.
LLWS is likely for much of the day and night as a strong storm
system affects the Midwest. Strong south to southeast gusts will
develop by mid morning, continuing into this evening.
A line of strong/severe thunderstorms is then expected to sweep
across the area from southwest to northeast tonight, affecting
all terminals. These will be fast moving storms, but will pose a
threat for strong winds as well as a small tornado threat. Brief
drops in flight conditions are expected in and around any
thunderstorms.
Finally, aviation interests should be aware of the potential for
strong winds during the day on Saturday. Southwest winds gusting
as high as 45 knots are possible Saturday morning and afternoon.

.MARINE...
Issued 317 AM CDT Fri Mar 14 2025
Gusty southeast winds will develop today as low pressure lifts
from northwestern Kansas to southern Minnesota today and
tonight. Widespread gales are not expected today, but a few
gusts may approach gale force. A line of strong thunderstorms
will move across the lake late tonight, with locally higher
winds and waves. For the nearshore waters, a Small Craft
Advisory is in effect for elevated winds and waves.
Gales are expected to develop on Saturday, as the low lifts into
northern Wisconsin and then across Lake Superior. Gales to 40
knots are possible on Saturday, and a Gale Watch remains in
effect for both the nearshore and the open waters.
Winds will shift to the northwest late Saturday night as a cold
front moves through the area, eventually turning back to the south
early Monday.
